Tasting Notes
Aroma
Immediately floral with fresh raspberry, black-cherry syrup, spiced plums and oriental peonies, all bursting from the glass.
Appearance
A luminous deep magenta.
Palate
There’s cinnamon, nutmeg and earth, with mineral, ripe boysenberry and black
berry-fruit on the palate adding presence and sustained, subtle power. Fine-grained
tannins carry the palate on and on. Luxurious. Resplendent. Bullnose Syrah’ 20 is our
most beautiful Bullnose.
Vinification
The individual lots were each destemmed and given a traditional warm-plunged
fermentation. The resulting wines underwent extended maceration on skins before
pressing and then a secondary malolactic fermentation. The separate wines were then
run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barriques for 15 months’ maturation.
During this time, they were regularly topped and racked, before blending and then
bottling in December 2021.
Range Notes
The wine is named Bullnose after an early Morris Cowley car, which was nicknamed
Bullnose due to its distinctive radiator. The bull emblem that appears on the wine label
is drawn from the car’s radiator crest.
Region Notes
Separate parcels of fully ripened syrah grapes were hand harvested from Te Mata
Estate’s Bullnose, Hotspur and Isosceles Vineyards between 26 and 30 March 2020.
